May is usually an exciting month for us and this year is no different. Corinth is pleased to bring back a lost Western – A Time For Dying – one of legendary director Budd Boetticher’s last films and the last appearance in a motion picture by America’s most famous World War 2 combat veteran, Audie Murphy.

Two Classics With A Twist
Dear Arthouse Cinema Fans,
The old saying, better late than never, is certainly the case here as we wanted to include some exciting new developments in our April e-newsletter before delivering it to your inbox. This month, we have made available on Amazon two classics with a twist – Metropolis and The Phantom of the Opera with our popular Loy Cook music score! Years ago, Corinth commissioned a talented musician named Loy Cook Jr. to compose a new score for these old films so that viewers could enjoy them all over again, and now we have brought them to Amazon Video and Prime!
We also have a very special project in the works, a remastering of Audie Murphy’s last film A Time For Dying, which is owned by Corinth. After having this film transferred to digital, an extensive amount of cleanup and editing work is necessary to make the quality as sharp as possible. Stay tuned for more details on availability in subsequent newsletters. We also have some new DVD releases coming soon that are available for pre-order on Amazon – see below for more details!
Follow us on our social media platforms, and spread the word about our monthly newsletter list which can be signed up for on our website, www.corinthfilms.com.
